That's because I am working with CS2 and it doesn't have the "refine edge" feature so when I used magic wand to select the front faces of the letters, I had to use 1 tolerance which if you use photoshop, you'd know makes for a very pixelated selection. Then I had to go through with an eraser tool and erase the very outsides to smooth it up a bit, it still doesn't really help, but it's good enough.
Thank you for the comments, the tutorial is found if you google "photoshop typography" and go to images, I don't know the rules about linking here so I'm just not going to give a direct link.
